Book Review – Reflection on the Celebratory Volume Anthropology – Thinking – Creating

published by the Hungarian Society for Cultural Anthropology .In terms of its formal characteristics, the volume belongs to the Festschrift genre and bears its classical features .This is proven, among other things, by the fact that the celebratory volume includes studies reflecting the diverse research fields of AGA, as well as empirical experiences, past quotations, and eulogies .The large format, the 595-page volume features a portrait of Andrs A .Gergely on the cover .The work of graphic artist Adrienn Umlauf shows the kind face of the Celebrated, his legendary beard, his lively gaze, the "stirring" of his being, the outwardly perceptible ripples of the ever-analysing polymath's powerful soul .The review is sadly topical because the former President of the Hungarian Cultural Anthropological Society (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019), who had been greeted with great affection by the profession, friends, acquaintances and admirers, just a few months earlier, passed away on 1 April 2023 .
